This chorizo has a smoky flavor, is mildly spicy, dry cured, and all natural. Seasoned with picante smoked paprika, this natural chorizo is made from a generations-old recipe at the family owned company in La Rioja. It is ready to be sliced and served! It is not flaming hot but rather slightly spicy. The blend of pork, garlic, salt, and smoked paprika make for a piquant flavor that distinguishes Spanish chorizo. No nitrates or nitrites are used in the production of this all natural sausage. It comes dry-cured with no refrigeration necessary and is ready to eat. Serve on a charcuterie board with cheese and wine, or just eat it alone as a snack with toasted bread!
